Yes, the title is strange and that is because my mind is mess up with all the reading online about milling machines.
I will start a project that is half kit, half scratch. I am a kit builder, for now.
With this project on mind, I updated my scroll saw (mine was too old and has seen bad times) and got a new Micro Mark table saw (not the mini).
I do not have a vertical driller.
I was thinking in investing $388 in a Proxxon milling MF70 + $150 in accessories. That can also be used to drill precise vertical holes (that is ~$150 value on a standard table drill)
Beside cutting notches, I would kindly appreciate if those that have a milling machine can tell me for what they used it.
I will not upgrade to CNC never.
So I am asking to help me to justify, to myself, expending ~$500 for..... "What are those basic jobs that you did using a milling machine ? "
Sorry if this is a too basic question, but I need to understand the use of standard manual milling in our hobby.
Thank you all !!
Daniel
